StokesRadio

This week on StokesRadio, the Ward 3 City Councilman discusses the streets, the Lumumbas smearing of a Supervisor candidate, Mitzi Bickers, The Missing Million Dollars, sellouts, and allegations on the Mayor's recreations.

Stokes raises a good question about why we haven't heard anything since last year about Keyshia Sanders, the city's former manager of constituent services. She was relieved of her duties in August 2021 for potential misappropriation of funds - specifically, COVID-19 relief funds.
The Clarion Ledger headline at the time says it all - "How a company with no phone number got paid $1 million for work it may not have done."

Sanders reported directly to the mayor's office. The city hired the Philips Dunbar law firm to investigate & we've heard nothing since. Stokes' supposition that Sanders has flipped / turned state's evidence is fascinating, having widespread implications to the highest levels of city government.

There's something oddly reassuring about listening to this. He's so old school. And I have to say his economic analysis about staying in school is spot-on.

He gets blinded by his racist views. If he could get past that he makes good sense. He doesn't realize it but the racism is holding him up.

Stokes does make some good points.

To paraphrase two:

" It's good to have pretty teachers. That makes the little boys want to go to class ... to look at the pretty teachers"

" Ya can't go to the McDonalds if you're locked up in the federal penn".

3:42 - Holding him up from what? What could he accomplish if he were not racist? He is exactly where he wants to be.

It has taken me about 20 years, but I am beginning to think that Stokes is not as stupid as I initially thought he was.

@3.42
Councilman Stokes isn’t racist. You white devils are guilty of every think he states!

Honestly, Stokes is the best thing going on in the City.

So we're getting accused of racism by some fool who calls us white devils.

Got it.

When y’all embrace this hyper illiteracy as sound rhetoric it will only diminish what little capacity you now possess.
The city of Jackson isn’t only a cesspool but a ravaging cancer spreading across what is left of our beautiful state and
this buffoon, whom you want to morph into some white knight to save this once-great city, is dragging you into this social degradation.

Why would anyone assume Stokes was stupid. He got thru law school and I assume passed the bar. He's not dumb. Annoying? Yes. An a$$hole? Maybe. But nowhere near stupid.

For years, he's been the smartest person in the Council room.

6:01 - No, he is that stupid. And I saw in Sunday night's news where he wants the city to buy the county jail so that the city can incarcerate its own criminals. Why? Why in the world would he want to take on this monumental task when the county is doing it?

That comment at 6:51pm says it all.

“For years, he's been the smartest person in the Council room.”

- said the person who’s never stepped foot inside the Council room.

6:09 : I agree that in the true sense of the word, Stokes isn't racist. He doesn't believe black folks are superior to any other race. He is PRO black and lives it. Having dealt with him a good bit over the years and being a white person.....I am sure of this.

Stokes is not dumb. He was second in his class in law school. Just because he talks differently than we do doesn't mean he lacks intelligence.

He could easily be the next Mayor of Jackson, especially if this garbage debacle implodes.

I agree with 9:09 to an extent. As a white guy, I too have dealt with Stokes frequently over the years, and he has been nothing but kind to me and my wife. We have disagreed on several issues, particularly regarding law enforcement, but I've never felt that he hated me because of my skin color. I treat him with respect for his position, and he shows respect back to me as a constituent. My take on him is that he grew up during a time when white people were NOT kind to him or other black people in his life, and he has maintained that distrust for us as a whole. And some of us give him a good reason to feel that way. But I do think he is smart and capable of judging people as individuals.

The interesting part starts at 11:00.

And just like that, Stokes became a mayoral-tier possible candidate.

In a contest between Stokes and Lamumba, Jacksonians will have their choice between the lesser of two uppities.

Thanks Kingfish.
He gives an outstanding take on all subjects he touched.
I will add Kenny Stokes to my growing list of modern Black intellectual social commentators. The list includes Thomas Sowell and Jae Woodward of WoodwardTV youtube channel fame.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
